Brief Biography
I am a 3rd year graduate student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at University of California, Berkeley, advised by Prof. Costas J. Spanos. I am also a Graduate Student Researcher for the Singapore-Berkeley Building Efficiency and Sustainability in the Tropics (SinBerBEST) program. My research interests are probabilistic machine learning, including topics in generative modeling, approximate inference and deep learning. I am also excited in grounding my research via applications relating to smart buildings and climate change.
I graduated from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur with a B.Tech.(Honors) in Electrical Engineering in 2016. During my undergraduate studies, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Ashok Pradhan on several projects. Prior to joining UC Berkeley, I worked for a year at Mentor Graphics, India at Noida as a R&D Engineer.
